Plot Action Pass | Mock Draft Tool Coming Soon!

NFL Defenses that are much worse against the pass when they blitz (based on EPA/DVOA composite): LV (+0.36) CAR (+0.34) Defenses that are much better when they blitz: IND (-0.33) SEA (-0.20) Best pass defenses overall when sending four: HST (-0.23) LAC (-0.15) Worst pass defenses overall when sending four: NYJ (+0.29) CIN (+0.27) Other interesting notes: - MIN continues to blitz at the highest rate in the league (49.6%) despite performing much worse (+0.13) when doing so - ATL is the only team that is top five in both blitz rate (3rd) and efficiency (5th) - Average EPA/DVOA when blitzing is just +0.02 higher than when not blitzing -- roughly equivalent, but indicating teams are overall blitzing more than the data supports.

@Timo_NFL can we see an additional endpoint prior to free agency start? would be interesting to break down who “won” free agency, draft, etc

Market consensus win totals since March. Teams that have been trending down since the March opening: Bucs, Packers Teams that haves been trending up since the March opening: Panthers, Cowboys

@Mmhucrewmars @ShootyH00ps nice job! 6th place here (cardiacpack16)

@ShootyH00ps i did it!

@PantherNationPC Panthers FO did great, but we don’t have to pretend the rest of the division (minus Atlanta) didn’t also do well. Bucs in particular had a great draft as well.

Let this sink in.... The Panthers just had one of the most coherent drafts in a LONG time! 7 picks. 3 trenches. 1 vertical threat. 2 secondary pieces. 1 special teams chess piece. No reaches. No panic. No fixing the team in one weekend. Dan Morgan's playing chess while the rest of the NFC South plays checkers. #KeepPounding

@threesandtds24 makes total sense re: the low LB priority. i don’t love trevin, but guys like Thieneman or McNeill-Warren give you a lot of schematic flexibility. obviously Thieneman is the better complement to Moehrig but i think both are in play

+KC Concepcion is him +KC is the best route runner in this draft +KC can play anywhere in a formation and would give the #Panthers massive explosives +Thieneman pick would make this safety room from weakness two years ago to a huge strength this year +Purdue Thieneman tape is impressive +Could go as high as 12 to the cowboys (Thieneman) +Panthers need a replacement for Robinson at DT +Kaye and Person keeps talking about Brown and Turk being role specific player +DT position is the weakest position of this draft +19 is sweet spot for OT prospects +mentions Lomu as second round option if he falls +Center position has good in rounds 3-4 +on Jrod and other linebacker questions he doesn’t see linebacker as much of a need compared to other positions and could see Carolina picking in later rounds for linebacker @JoshNorris with great thoughts on the Panthers draft plans

@GuyBoebert @JBBurner12 my assumption is that it's the roster builder tool on evanmiya.com but i haven't used it

@JBBurner12 What site/what is this your projecting with? Looks cool

Potential starting 5 Great shooting 1-3 and elite rim protection at the 4-5

@GuyBoebert @JBBurner12 i'm also curious

@HaydenWinks (without requiring drag and drop)

@HaydenWinks Very cool! Would love it if you added functionality to allow user to build a deeper board if they want to.

New feature. Build Your Big board. Quickly pick between two prospects until your rough draft board is set, then you can drag and drop the prospects to finalize a Top 32 Big Board. A nice graphic will pop up to share. Should take under 5 minutes.

@deason6919 @EverythingRebs @murphsturph It’s the exact opposite of how he handled his departure from McNeese last year. He’s within his rights to seek out more money, but for a guy that prides himself on transparency and directness, this represents neither.

@EverythingRebs @murphsturph It’s every coaches speech that leaves a school!

This video from Will Wade’s press conference weeks ago looks worse by the day 🎥 @murphsturph

@NoFilm_Analysis where does this info get pulled from? looks like PFR?

Having the cutoff be players selected in the Top 15 feels a bit misleading. Leaves out guys like: - Jahan Dotson (16th ovr) - Treylon Burks (18th ovr) - Rashod Bateman (27th ovr) - N’keal Harry (32nd ovr) All of them rank very highly in this metric. I’ve done a bit of digging into this metric and ultimately found that it doesn’t necessarily tell us much regarding how well a player translates to the NFL.

@jagibbs_23 would be interested to see this filtered to all first and second round picks

Receiving yardage market share leaders, if only including plays the WR was on the field for, filtered to only include players selected in the top-15. This stat obviously relates to teammate WR talent (signified in the low rates for Alabama and OSU players), but still interesting! Data dates back to 2017.

@MarchMadnessMBB Kentucky's shot probably shouldn't have counted. Coach signaled for a timeout AND the clock started about 0.5s too late after inbound.

NO. WAY. 😱 WE'RE GOING TO OVERTIME!!! #MarchMadness

@JoshNorris @thaRBW I think plan is most likely to grab a guy like Logan Jones in the draft. This is a bit ahead of his consensus position -- either him or Jake Slaughter will likely be available there.

@thaRBW what do you think the plan at C is?

I feel like Carolina’s next move should be to add a swing tackle or nickel. resigning Yosh is probably the best option. Maybe add brisker to play the nickel?

@PanthersOnTap @curtis_rauen @NotDaveCanales @rickyboboddy agreed it'd be hard to pass on tyson if he slipped, but there's going to be good value on WR in the late 3rd. also not super high on markel bell personally. this one assumes we go out and spend for a LB in FA

Panthers Post-Combine Mock Draft 2.0 Again, we will address edge rusher in free agency. ✍️: @curtis_rauen @NotDaveCanales @rickyboboddy

@RTRWLT @Raiders_Simp i don't strongly disagree. tough to get there with a statistical model though, impossible to get it perfect without making it overfit.

@PlotActionPass @Raiders_Simp By some. But it wasn’t universal. Tbh, the top 2 on this list didn’t look as good as most of the ones below them.

Thank god we're getting Mendoza

@RTRWLT @Raiders_Simp QBs are tough to project, but the consensus was that Williams was one of if not the top QB prospect in recent years.

@PlotActionPass @Raiders_Simp Caleb Williams at 1 invalidates that model

@GuruFantasyWrld 11 projected by my simulator. big board rank doesn't account for team by team draft needs! guys like bernard and williams are likely 3rd rounders

There are currently 12 WR’s projected to get drafted RD1/2 in the 2026 Draft Class. 13 if you count Antonio Williams – who’s projected 67th overall. Bad year to have a 1st round rookie pick – but a good one to have late 2’s & early 3’s.

@SleeperNFL @jjones9 not looking likely but there's around a 30% chance they'll have a decision to make!

The Chiefs don’t think RB Jeremiyah Love will fall to them at No. 9 in the NFL Draft, per @jjones9
